I feel your pain. I have been doing gluten free for my daughter for 2 years now. She loves chicken and dumpling I have saw her eat 9 or 10 of my dumpling(well did love) when I use a rice flour blend I found out we could have won any war if only we load a batch of those babies on our planes and dropped them on our enemies ,we could sink their land!!!! My daughter will not hurt anyone so when I ask her were they good and why she only ate 1/2 of one, she smiled, kissed me and said she was full. I tried one and it was so heavy there was no room for any thing else sort of like eating dry cement and drink a glass of water!Sets heavy. So I think your pies look fine, the real test is in the taste.
